Save yourself some bandwidth

They can be helpful to SE's, but I've been finding out lately that the SE's pick up what they need to pick up, just from your page's content minus the tags. I've completely stopped using them on my galleries and they seem to be getting MORE traffic to them than in previous days. I guess certain things work for certain people. Stick to what works for you.
